I’m a freelance writer, copy editor, blogger, and columnist. I’m short and have a beard. That last bit should be obvious from the photograph. I have a master's degree in creative writing from Emerson College in Boston, and have published a handful of short stories in literary magazines, and many more columns and articles. I’m a member of Mensa, which is not all it's cracked up to be. Believe me. I have a wife, two dogs, and two cats.
Things I like, in no particular order: jazz, films, photography, salty foods, pie, animals, beer, and Christmas. Things I dislike, in no particular order: the word "soul," the word "heart" referring to anything except the cardiac organ, sleaziness, noise, people who tell me what I should and shouldn't be eating, blueberries, and misspelled signage. You can email me at dan {at} dan-medeiros {dot} com.
On and off since 2003, I’ve written a print column and a blog for The Herald News, a daily newspaper. It’s called “Man vs. World,” and it covers weird news, oddities, pop culture. You can find columns from 2003-2007 here, and the 2011-present incarnation here.
I used to co-host a running podcast called 4 Feet Running with my wife. We still maintain the site as a running-related blog. If you're interested in running, go there and check it out.
My wife, Nicole Wong, is an extremely talented painter and illustrator. If you're a nice person you'll check out her website here, where you can see her portfolio, her blog, and most importantly her store, where you can find beautiful works of art for sale. Go buy something -- art makes a great gift.
This should go without saying, but all the stuff you see here is © me.
